School Days

Today was Macey's first day of Preschool! I was a little nervous about how things were going to go. We went to an open house last week to see her classroom and meet her teacher, Miss Ashley, and it was a bit of a struggle. Macey cried most of the time and didn't want anything to do with the teacher or the class aides. We tried to prepare her the best we could, we got a neat book from the library about school and let her pick out a new backpack (which is almost as big as she is!) and it must have paid off because today went GREAT!! I was so surprised, and impressed, with how well Macey did! She said hi to the teachers and other kids and walked into the classroom like a pro. I was the one feeling a little weepy as I stood in the hall and watched her through the window :-) The only rough spot was when I went to pick her up and she got upset because she wanted to ride the bus home. I knew that busing was an option but I didn't think she would want to ride...I guess I was wrong! So we put in a bus request and sometime next week my little girl will be riding the bus home from school. I will still be taking her, I am not ready to let go so fast!
Hooray Macey! We are so proud of you!!!

Wow! I wish Cooper could take the bus home. That's so fun for her. He starts next week, hopefully it'll go as good for him.
